Is my need for Privacy paradoxical to my need to keep in touch constantly? I mean i'm surrounded by phones, mobile, fax, internet, chat, etc and constantly make new friends and acquaintances but I still keep building the fences around my house taller ??

I agree that you build very very tall fences around your house!!!
Well, the situation is a paradox, but only because you made it so...... Your need to make new friends is contradicted by your need for privacy....... Its not your need for privacy actually, its your insecurity that has taken the form of "a need for privacy" ........ In a corner of your heart you believe that cannot trust others, and that feeling weras the mask of "need for privacy" .............. Because practically, both these things can go on very well side by side..... You can make new friends, be in touch with them and still have some private time left for you......... Dont think that being in touch with new people will make you lose your privacy ........ Break the shell that you have formed around you, which prevents you from being your normal self. The need for privacy is an artificial feeling created by your own insecurity.. There is no harm in building strong and tall fences, but you should have gates in them too, cos if fences can keep outsiders out, they can keep insiders in too!!! Do u want that?

Paradoxical thinking is a different way of contemplating and resolving problems. Often, doing the very opposite of what would be considered the natural reaction to events is essential to personal growth and development. This, according to the Chinese sages, is called the law of reverse effort. Paradoxical thinking may play a role in shaping the way we respond to spiritual and psychological issues, personal values, and our general behavior. For the reader, the order of things may seem to be turned upside down. Most religious traditions, however, are guided by metaphors and parables that clarify truths that are paradoxical in nature. This calls to mind the New Testament saying of Jesus who proclaimed, "If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give it up for me, you will find it."
Paradoxical thinking goes against the flow of the generally accepted ways of viewing life's problems. Those who see life as a rigid, linear process, have a difficult time comprehending the backwards-like implications of paradoxical thinking. Common sense appears to have been discarded.

It's kind of paradoxical, but it probably reflects your personality. Are you an introvert or an extrovert? I suspect that you are an introvert. These people 'recharge' by being by themselves. My husband is one of these. So, you want to be social, but you need time to yourself to process and relax. I'm an extrovert. I get energized by being around other people and spending time with them. It's not that I don't need alone time too, but I don't need as much as other people do.
